SIS chief and deputy governor of West Coast Region met with the Caliph of Basori Alhaji Mounirou Darboe on Sunday following an incident involving the police.
PIU officers on Sunday stormed the house of the top Islamic leader as villagers gathered there for the Eid congregational prayers.
Multiple sources told The Fatu Network the police attempted to take the caliph as the villagers resisted.
The police who were armed with AK47 rifles and teargas then left after reportedly receiving a call from the ‘top’.
A source said the Caliph spoke with President Barrow on the phone on Sunday who told him he was not aware of the incident and had not sanctioned it.
A President Barrow-sanctioned delegation comprising SIS director general Ousman Sowe and West Coast Region deputy governor Musa Suso met with the Caliph later on Sunday as news of the incident came out.
The delegation took colanut to the caliph in a bid to ending the fuss.
Police spokesman Lamin Njie (not the author of this story) has not been able to immediately comment on the issue.
